If it has to fall during working hours, you can tell everyone to get a beer @ the pub while you're it. I'm sure one hours delay wont be noticed then ;) _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past and every sinner has a future."
